I mention his wealth because it's specifically from his business and offers a comparison to his ability to pay for security fixes that threaten the very operation of such business.
It's like saying hey this business is worth $100k a day to me but I'm only willing to pay $10k to anyone who can show me a problem that would expose all my customers and bring it to a halt, perhaps permanently if the data got into the wrong hands, foreign governments, etc.

A business can't go to the founder as its own piggybank to get out of bad decisions. It's not only a legal and accounting nightmare, but it's bad for the business, too.
